Abstract
Crisis Care will conduct three types of activities: (1) seminars and workshops to address specific issues which cause tension between racial groups (e.g., group areas legislation, squatters and housing issues, and enforced removals) and to bring individuals and organizations together for practical work towards a more equitable, nonracial, South Africa; (2) programs to address discriminatory practices affecting women, devise reconciliation strategies to promote greater interaction between women of different racial and cultural backgrounds, establish a forum for consultation and sharing of resources and information, conduct leadership training workshops for women, and form links with groups in other areas working toward similar goals; and (3) nonracial weekend workshops and one-day events to encourage understanding and interaction between young people. Workshops will focus on leadership training, skills development, and greater awareness of and dialogue about sociopolitical issues.
